Anyone ever given Cytotec orally for induction?!

Question

I'm being (medically)induced on Monday, and my doctor wants to start with Cytotec, under the tongue, every 4 hours for 12 hours.
I've been doing research(which I probably shouldn't, lol.) And I've read it lowers the chances of C-section, and could take effect within the first 2 hours?
Has anyone ever used Cytotec orally for induction? What was your experience?

Answer

Let me start by saying everyone responds differently! I was given it orally and it worked very quickly. It was horrible though, I was having 5 minute long contractions with a minute in between. That started with the second dose. That was around 130am. By 9am I was 7cm by 1pm I was 9cm. At 130 pm they started pitocin because I wasn’t complete. I gave birth an hour later. 
So my first dose was at 9pm and I had him at 235pm. I got an epidural around 4am when I was 3cm because my contractions were so long. 
Everyone will have a different experience though, I responded a little too well to the cytotec 😂 good luck!

Answer

I started with that. I took two doses and ended up progressing on my own after that. Granted I was over 41 weeks so it was TIME lol.

Answer

I didn’t have it orally but when place on my cervix I went into labor

Answer

I never used it orally but have known of women that have. I had it inserted vaginally. I only needed 1/4th of a tablet and my body kicked into high gear and took over before they could even think to give me a second dose of it. My experience itself ended in a C-section but I literally just didn’t know how to push and my daughter ended up stuck in the birth canal. As long as you’re not a dummy like me, you’ll do perfectly fine with it!

Answer

It did absolutely nothing for me! I'll be skipping it this time since it was a huge waste of time!
